In the Facebook post, police warned that misuse of 911 could result in an arrest.

“This is neither an emergency or a police related concern. Please direct your inquiries to Cablevision,” they wrote. “911 should only be called for Life Threatening Emergencies ONLY.”

Among those who lost cable were customers from Stamford to Milford, according to the Connecticut Post. Cablevision released a statement Sunday night saying a power outage in Norwalk had caused the problem.
